Refurbished Regent fleet ready to book for 2015

For cruisers anxious to book for 2015, cruise lines are gradually starting to reveal offers for next summer and deep into the year. Most of them, however, want to wait until they have a firm grip on the success rate for this summer’s cruises.

Regent Seven Seas, one of the the luxury brands, has its plans set and is ready to open for reservations on Wednesday (February 19) at rssc.com.

Next year, Regent is featuring voyages to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska, Canada/New England, the Caribbean/Panama Canal, Asia, Africa and South America.

There are 27 new ports on the schedule, including Palamós and Almería, Spain; Walvis Bay, Namibia; Tyne (Newcastle), England; İzmir, Turkey; and Malmo, Sweden (in Malmo you’re close to Copenhagen…about a one-hour drive and lots of public transportation).

The 2015 season features a refreshed and rejuvenated fleet, as each of the line’s ships has completed a multi-million-dollar refurbishment and exudes an aura of Park Avenue elegance and sophistication, according to Regent.

I’ve picked three cruises to tempt you:

• A 20-night, round-trip sailing from Copenhagen departing July 6 explores the Norwegian fjords. Seven Seas Voyager then spends the holiday season on a 28-night, Cape Town-to-Singapore voyage with inaugural calls on Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Sabang, Indonesia.

* Seven Seas Mariner departs Lisbon and sails the coast of western Africa in October with an inaugural call in the port of São Tomé and Príncipe during a 39-night cruise.
